THE SHAVEN BEAUTY, by YUSUF IBN HARUN AL-RAMADI First Line: They have shaved his head Last Line: Thank god his dawn still saving! | |||
They have shaved his head In ugliness to dress him; They were full of dread, And jealous to possess him. Black as night, and bright As dawn, until his shaving, Now he's lost his night, Thank God his dawn still saving! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FIGHTING RACE [FEBRUARY 16, 1898] by JOSEPH IGNATIUS CONSTANTINE CLARKE RESOLUTION OF A POETICAL QUESTION CONCERNING FOUR RURAL SISTERS: 2 by CHARLES COTTON FABLE: 16 by ANTOINE VINCENT ARNAULT MONA LISA by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS INVITATION TO PETERHEAD by JAMES HAY BEATTIE |
